Hajduk is on a massive offensive, and the Poljuds have sent an official offer to Feyenoord!

Hajduk Split je započeo traženje novog branika, a prema izvoru sa nizozemskog portala FR12, klupski klub je poslao službenu ponudu Feyenoordu za Neraysha Kasanwirja. Kasanwirj, 24-godišnji branič koji može igrati na više pozicija u obrani, trenutno igra za Feyenoord, gdje je do sada imao samo devet službenih nastupa. Klub iz Rotterdama je otvoren za pregovore, ali želi trajno prodati igrača, a Kasanwirjov ugovor vrijedi do ljeta 2027. Njegova vrijednost na Transfermarkt-u je ocijenjena na 1,5 milijuna eura. Hajduk već ima nekoliko branika, uključujući Darija Marešića, Rona Racija i Aleca Van Hoorenbeecka, te očekuje dogovor oko dolaska reprezentativca BiH Dennisa Hadžikadunića.

Hajduk Split has confirmed that Denis Hadžikadunić will join the club after agreeing to a two-year contract. The central defender, who played for Bosnia and Herzegovina at the World Cup, is set to sign with the Croatian side following his release from Russian club Rostov. Hadžikadunić, 28, made 27 minutes in Bosnia's 3-1 victory against Kazakhstan during the tournament and contributed an assist in that match. He has earned 33 caps for Bosnia and Herzegovina since making his debut. Born in Malmö, Sweden, Hadžikadunić represented Sweden's youth teams before switching allegiance to Bosnia and Herzegovina six years ago. He spent the last eight seasons with Rostov, during which he was loaned out four times, first to Malmö, then to Mallorca, Hamburg SV, and finally to Sampdoria, where he spent the last season of his contract. His deal with Rostov has expired, allowing him to move to Hajduk without any buyout clause. Hadžikadunić is scheduled to arrive in Split on Monday, undergo medical examinations, and complete the signing process later that evening if there are no complications. The move comes ahead of Hajduk's opening match in the Conference League playoffs against Polish side Rakow on Thursday. The potential arrival of Hadžikadunić follows several other developments in Hajduk’s search for defensive reinforcement. Earlier reports indicated that the club had shown interest in Dutch defender Neraysh Kasanwirja, who plays for Feyenoord. According to the Dutch media outlet FR12, Hajduk has already submitted a formal offer to Feyenoord for the 24-year-old center-back. Kasanwirja, born in Amsterdam, began his career in Ajax's academy before moving to Groningen, where he made 47 league appearances. Feyenoord signed him in January 2023 for around €2 million, but he struggled to secure a regular place in the first team, making just nine official matches for the Rotterdam-based club. Instead, he was frequently loaned out to clubs such as Rapid Vienna, Rangers, Malmø FF, and Fortuna Sittard. His contract with Feyenoord runs until the summer of 2027, and while the Dutch club is open to negotiations, they want to sell him rather than send him on another loan. The exact amount of Hajduk’s offer has not been disclosed yet. Transfermarkt values Kasanwirja at €1.5 million. If the transfer materializes, it would provide Hajduk with additional depth and versatility in defense, as Kasanwirja can play both as a center-back and on either flank. However, the focus appears to have shifted recently due to another development involving Danish international Djennis Burnić. Initially, there were indications that Burnić might be joining Hajduk, but recent reports suggest otherwise. According to Sportske.ba, Burnić has instead opted to move to Russian Premier League side Rostov. The 22-year-old defender, who has made 22 appearances for Bosnia and Herzegovina, including two at this year’s World Cup, has chosen Rostov over Hajduk because the Russian club acted more quickly and offered more concrete terms. Burnić left his previous club, Karlsruher SC, after his contract expired at the end of last season, meaning he will join Rostov as a free agent without any compensation. Burnić, who grew up in Borussia Dortmund’s youth system, has also played for Stuttgart, Dynamo Dresden, Heidenheim, and Karlsruher SC. At Karlsruher, he made 97 appearances, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. His decision to move to Russia marks a significant shift in his career, especially given the interest from Hajduk earlier in the transfer window. In addition to these developments, Hajduk has already secured the services of several other defenders. The club has signed Dario Maresić, Ronny Racic, and Alec van Hoornbeck, while young talents Marin Skelin and Roak Gabrić are also part of the defensive setup. The club is also expecting the arrival of Hadžikadunić, further strengthening its backline. With the upcoming fixtures in the Conference League playoffs and domestic competitions, Hajduk is clearly looking to reinforce its defense to ensure competitiveness on multiple fronts. The situation surrounding Burnić highlights the challenges faced by clubs in securing top-tier talent, particularly in the current transfer market where competition is fierce. While Hajduk initially showed genuine interest in Burnić, the speed and clarity of Rostov’s approach proved decisive. This underscores the importance of timely decisions and clear communication in high-stakes transfers. Meanwhile, the potential acquisition of Kasanwirja could still happen, depending on the outcome of ongoing discussions with Feyenoord. With Hadžikadunić expected to finalize his move soon, Hajduk is taking steps toward stabilizing its defense. Whether the club succeeds in acquiring additional reinforcements will depend on the progress of talks with Feyenoord regarding Kasanwirja and the finalization of contracts with other players. The club's management continues to work diligently to address the defensive needs of the squad, ensuring readiness for the demanding schedule ahead.

Hajduk is left without a big reinforcement: Representative moves to Russia

Dženis Burnić, reprezentativac Bosne i Hercegovine, odbio je ponudu Hajduka i prihvatio poziv ruskog kluba Rostov. Prema informacijama sa Sportske.ba, Burnić je odlučio preći u Rusiju jer je ruski klub bio konkretniji i brži u procesu. Iako je Hajduk imao interese za njegovo povećanje, Burnić će ostati bez velikog pojačanja. Odluka je donesena nakon što je Burnić završio svoje 22 nastupa za reprezentaciju Bosne i Hercegovine. Ugovor s Karlsruherom mu je istekao ljeti, pa će Burnić moći preći u novi klub bez odštete.

Has the haggot found reinforcements in the Netherlands?

Hajduk je započeo pregovore o transferu 24-godišnjeg braniča Neraysha Kasanwirja, prema informacijama iz Nizozemske. Splićani su poslali konkretnu ponudu Feyenoordu, koji traži da ga prodaju, a ne ponovno posluže na posudbu. Kasanwirjo, koji je bio učesnik u Ajaxovoj akademiji, igrao je za više eurpskih klubova, uključujući Rapidu Beč, Rangers i Fortunu Sittard. Nizozemski klub ga je kupio za oko 2 milijuna eura 2023., ali nije uspio postati osnovni igrač. Hajduk bi mogao koristiti njegovu fleksibilnost u obrani, a daljnji korak u pregovorima još nije jasno definiran.

He was one of the best in the Polje, Hajduk couldn't keep him, and now he's going to the famous Italian.

Iker Almena, mladi španjolski nogometni igrač koji je igrao za Hajduka u prošloj sezoni, vratio se u saudijski klub Al-Qadsiah nakon što je Hajduk bio u stanju da ga zadrži. Njegova karijera je bila uključena u razne planove, ali financijski aspekti su ograničili mogućnosti. Prema izvorima, Almena može preći u italijanski klub Palermo, gdje trenerski tim treba da pronađe rješenje za njegov transfer. Takođe, Palermo je predstavio planove da otpusti neke igrače na krilnim pozicijama kako bi osiguralo njegov dolazak.

Dennis Hadžikadunić, bosanskohercegovački reprezentativac koji je igrao za švedsku mladost, predstavlja se kao potencijalni novi igrač Hajduka.
